Spinach is an odd thing. I don't much care for it steamed, and it has to
be just barely wilted before it develops a nasty taste. Yet, it is
delicious in many other forms. I can handle small doses of it raw in a
salad. I love spanakopita and that spinach dip. I love eggs Florentine
and scrambled eggs with spinach and hot sauce.
